Legally Certifiable
"My story of moving from stay-at-home-mom to lawyer: 3 kids, one husband and a menagerie of critters in tow."
Shelley’s Case
“Shelley’s Case” has nothing to do a certain English property lawsuit. (But if you must know, the “Rule” of law has been abolished in most jurisdictions).

Instead, this is a purely personal blog. From time to time, the author may feel compelled to discuss particular topics of quasi-public interest, but such divulgence does not constitute as legal advice and/or sound general advice.

Sometimes a reader or two might confirm, revise, or append to the author’s recommendations, comments, and reflections on specific subjects. Sometimes no one would comment. The existence or lack of comments neither affirm nor nullify the author’s opinions and/or observations.

"In summary:

• If you are looking for legal advice, this is not the place.
• If you are looking for law school or bar exam advice, this could be helpful, but not necessarily relevant place to look.
• If you are looking for a funny site, this is the wrong place. There is nothing funny about law school, and the bar exam, for that matter."
Fight The Hypo
"Mostly about the experience of law school, but readers will also find posts on the development of their legal careers, the opportunities and pitfalls of the law, current events, politics and media."
